Classic Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1/2
    cup butter, softened
  • 1/2
    cup peanut butter
  • 1/2
    cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2
    cup packed brown sugar or 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2
    teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2
    teaspoon baking powder
  • 1
    egg
  • 1/2
    teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/4
    cups all-purpose flour
  • Granulated sugar
Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl beat butter and peanut butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and baking powder. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour. If necessary, cover and chill dough about 1 hour or until easy to handle.

2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in additional granulated sugar to coat. Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Using the tines of a fork, flatten balls by making crisscross marks on top. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until bottoms are light brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. Makes about 36 cookies.

I love how you guys have the nutritional facts at the bottom of the page for those of us watching our weight, but it doesn't have the serving size for those facts. Is there any way someone could post that up for me? Thanks for the recipe.

The peanut butter flavor was intense yet not overly sweet and they had a terrifically tender texture that melted in your mouth. I worried a little bit that I had undercooked them but I took them out when the timer went off and set them on the cooling rack. So glad I did because they set up nicely while cooling and if I'd baked them too much longer it would have ruined them. Definitely a recipe I'd recommend to a friend¿in fact, I already have!
